## About Mound Springs

Mound Springs turns up in Lander County, some 23 miles out from Battle Mountain. The water runs hot, a shade under the line where most people stop wanting to get in, so ease down slowly. No landowner is named for it, and permission to be there is an open question, which counts for more here than the heat does.

The spring lies a tenth of a mile off Battle Mountain Road, a short walk from the car. Elevation is modest for the state, under five thousand feet, low for Nevada. Winters here drop around two and a half feet of snow over the season, and the rest of the year is dry, eleven inches of precipitation all told.

The coldest stretch of the year, December through February, is what the record favors. Access class is a short walk, so no real hiking involved. With no landowner on file, look into who holds the land before driving out. No camping is listed nearby. The temperature is a USGS reading; the sample date is not given, so assume it could have shifted since.
